Chapter 8

The sun shines high in the sky, the flowers smile at me…

Just as the gaming blogger Tonghao Mama was preparing to further explore the newly discovered treasure game, Genshin Impact.

His phone alarm rang out, utterly out of place.

Every Thursday at eight in the morning.

The alarm would ring on time.

Reminding him to update and post the latest episode of his Weekly Immortal Grass Game Report video on Xiaopu Station.

In the past, upon hearing this alarm, Tonghao Mama would immediately log onto his Xiaopu Station homepage and upload the prepared video.

But.

Today, as he stared at his homepage, he suddenly hesitated.

It wasn’t because the video hadn’t been edited yet.

Rather, after just trying out Genshin Impact, he had suddenly conceived a very bold idea.

Instead of uploading the old video and inviting criticism,

why not simply delay the update for a few days, record new Genshin Impact gameplay footage, and incorporate it into the existing video?

After a few seconds of hesitation,

Tonghao Mama finally made up his mind: that’s what he’d do!

Of course.

As a professional gaming blogger with over three million followers, he couldn’t just vanish without a word and risk losing fans—he still needed to notify them.

Thinking of this, he quickly composed a message and posted an update:

Broz, the latest Immortal Grass series will be delayed by one day—I’ve discovered a true treasure game and am grinding for footage; you won’t be disappointed.

After posting the update,

he ignored all private messages and comments, and immediately resumed playing the Genshin Impact beta.

…

On the other side,

After a full night’s sleep, Qin Xiaoyu had restored both body and spirit to peak condition.

After washing up, he went downstairs for breakfast, then headed straight to the studio.

Setting up the beta server and promoting it.

He had nearly finished both tasks.

But before Genshin Impact officially launched, two other crucial matters still needed handling.

One of them was voice acting.

During the beta phase, he had distributed very few invite codes, and few players participated, so this issue hadn’t arisen.

But once the game launched officially and players flooded in, many would inevitably notice the voice actors for the characters.

Some players might even search online for information about the voice actors.

After all,

Genshin Impact’s voice acting is one of its standout features.

If no information about the voice actors could be found,

this would undoubtedly spark suspicion and speculation.

Therefore,

to avoid unnecessary trouble, all characters in the game needed new voice actors to be found and recorded.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyu began searching online for suitable voice actors.

But.

Half an hour later, he reluctantly abandoned the idea.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t find suitable voice actors.

The main problem was his lack of startup funds.

Not to mention famous voice actors—even lesser-known ones quoted prices far beyond what he could afford.

Yet voice acting was an unavoidable major issue.

Qin Xiaoyu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him.

Things were not as simple as he had originally imagined.

For a moment,

he seemed trapped in an inescapable loop.

Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The next second.
